Outside of the subscription offers, the new ESPN app will include sports news, highlights and scores, the aforementioned linear ESPN TV networks to authenticated subscribers, and ESPN Audio. Alternatively, there'll be a $49.99 per year subscription option, which brings the monthly price down to $4.17.
